I was lucky enough to buy tickets to the 3rd Annual Konatown Music Festival, which was held on a golf course called The Swing Zone. Most of my friends were going to see local artist-gone big Pepper, but not me. I was going there to see one of my favorite ska bands that I have adored for all eternity - Mad Caddies. I was so excited that they were coming here. Barely anyone interesting comes to Hawaii, let alone the Big Island. But they didn't disappoint. The Mad Caddies were fucking AMAZING live.

They started playing as the beautiful Kona sun began to set. I was moshing and singing along and getting my ass kicked. They played as the sky turned black and the stars came out. And then.. "This next song is a love song."
